Located in a beautiful mountain town in Costa Rica, New Summit Academy is an independent, year-round, supportive boarding school for up to 24 adolescent males ages 14-18 (grades 9-12), offering an excellent environment for personal insight-building, US-accredited college preparatory academics, cultural immersion, adventure and travel. Since 2005, New Summit has been helping students build healthier relationships with themselves and others, enhance motivation to set and reach goals, and become more resourceful global citizens.
Our students are bright, creative, sensitive, passionate about an interest, open to other cultures and are committed to personal growth. Students may struggle with anxiety or depression, executive functioning, attention, self-confidence, identity or difficult social or family dynamics. Within our supportive learning community, they build positive coping skills for their anxiety, adopt healthier lifestyles for their mood, and develop strategies to support their learning and executive functioning needs.
